I had two stories published at the beginning of this month: "This Isn't Better" in Galaxy's Edge , and "Peace in the Valley" in Factor Four Magazine . They were my second publications in both markets. I am now officially pro-ed out from the contest. I have learned so much from be...

I sold a story to The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction . *faints* Blogged about it here: http://www.ympang.com/i-sold-a-story-to-the-magazine-of-fantasy-and-science-fiction/ It's close to April Fool's. Wouldn't blame y'all if you didn't believe me. Fantastic sale, Michelle! Congratulations! ...

The moral of this story: I need to spend less time on my phone. wotf019 Seriously, though! I've recently taken up walking every day, and I don't use my phone, I don't have the internet, and I don't even listen to music. It's amazing what a brain will do when it doesn't have other things taking up i...

There are a few markets where I mention that I have been a Writers of the Future finalist--IGMS and Galaxy's Edge specifically--but otherwise I don't mention it in cover letters. It does show up in my author bio. That said, I always say that *I* have been a finalist, not that *this story* was a fina...

Keep in mind that even if/when Dave is done, he's not the one who sends out the responses, Joni is, and she's in the middle of workshop week/gala prep, so the first quarter is almost always a long wait.

Congratulations to all the people finding success! It's wonderful to see. wotf007 In the last two months I've received acceptances from both Cricket and, just yesterday, Flash Fiction Online. No idea when either story is coming out, but glad that the stories will be read! Wishing everybody happines...

Even Rs can be publishable. I've sold 3 out of 5 Rs so far, and only 1 out of 5 HMs. I do feel my HMs are better than my Rs in general, so it is just a matter of market really. I second that it's a matter of market, often. I've sold 6 out of 14 HMs (two of my HMs were the same story, just edited), ...

I sing the congratulating song! For K.D.! For a less disgruntled peony! For KristyEmber who makes it three! With trumpet blast and bagpipe skirl I play your path to what lies beyond. Victory's most rousing song! Or dirge of falling just so near. Where sight of what could have been appears, to goad ...

Anyone up for one of these? I've got a lot more free time coming up for at least a little while, and have found that this tends to produce interesting results. (I know this is usually Rebecca's baby, but I think it's bloody awesome and wonderful fun so I'm kicking it off this time. I might actually...

(And kudos if you can name the pro editor that peronally typed "alas" on his rejections well over 100,000 times. You get a Scooby Snack.) It was Gordon van Gelder at F&SF who used alas in his rejects. Alas, he has since retired. Zoinks! Laurie gets a Scooby Snack! ~Moon~ I got as pers...
